Harddisk temp tool for IPBOX 9000
Code:
This tool can read the actual temp from the most harddisks via S.M.A.R.T.
To install download the tar.gz file , then untar the file in the var directory of your box:
- put file to /tmp directory via ftp
- untar the file in var directory (cd /var && tar xvzf /tmp/hddtemp-ipbox9000.tar.gz)
- afterwards you have the binary, the db and a simple shell script in /var/hddtemp
- then you need to link the shell script to a button
I use the original image, and made a link in /var/bin so i can push on the red button and see the actual temp in the front display:
- cd /var/bin
- ln -s /var/hddtemp/display-hdd-temp.sh red.sh
The shell script does just display the temp in the front display, and the following points could be added:
1. We could switch back to channel name after 10 seconds (actually you need to change the channel or push the "i" button)
2. Even better we could display the temp on OSD
